What you are looking at
In the Southern California Bight, buoy 46025 floats over the Santa Monica Basin, 33 nautical miles west-southwest of Santa Monica. The water below is deep, about 868 meters (roughly 2,850 feet). The Channel Islands lie to the west and the Los Angeles coast to the northeast, but at this distance land may or may not appear in the camera's strip of photos, generally taken hourly during daylight.
Shipping lanes to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach run through this region, and sport fishing boats, sailors bound for Catalina or the islands, and Southern California surfers all use the buoy's data. The National Data Buoy Center's 3-meter discus buoy reports wind and gusts, air pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period for National Weather Service forecasts.
Late spring and early summer bring the marine layer, often called May Gray and June Gloom, so many photos show low cloud over gray water. Late summer can be warm and bright with south swell. In fall and winter, dry Santa Ana winds may blow offshore, and passing storms bring rain and northwest swell.
